Happy Monday! I am the host of the Bitten By The Bug2 Challenge this week. The challenge is to use a frame from any cartridge. I really want to see it used on a scrapbook layout, but some people are not scrapbookers, so use the frame on any project. Here, I've created a layout using a frame from the Fancy Frames cartridge. Sorry, it's not a very good pic. My laptop monitor died and I hooked it up to another (ancient) monitor, and honestly, I have no idea what this pic will look like uploaded. I started with a patterned green cardstock with letters on it. How fortuitious that the letter B was in the left corner! B for Ben, my sweet hub. His photo looks much better than in this pic too. I abused various papers, layered them, inked them, punched them, and stamped stitches all over. I added black felt swirls, buttons, flowers, rhinestones, teenie-beenie stickers, and pom-poms for flower centers. I highlighted the B by rubbing black ink around it. And I spelled out the rest of his name with sticky letters. This is another "fussy" layout, which is a style I have been experimenting with. Go check out the other designer's projects at BBTB2! And play along with us too by uploading your take on the challenge!

OMGoodness, but this lo is just beautiful!! I love, love the colors you used as well as the papers. The frame works perfectly with the pic!
Thanks for picking a great challenge, Melissa. It was just the incentive I needed to get started on my granddaughter's scrapbook for her graduation from high school in 2 weeks. I have a lot to do in a short time. I don't carry any scrapbook stuff or 12 x 12 paper with me while we travel around in our RV. No room for storing it. I had to make a quick trip to Walmart to get stuff. I love your beautiful layout, particularly the black and green together. Beautiful job with your embellishments.
This is beautiful, Melissa. I love that green paper. Love the fancy frame in black.All the black details really make it pop. I am so happy to be a part of this talented team.
